2. Alloy on Kubernetes #
Using the Helm Chart and managing ConfigMaps.
Kubernetes deployment strategies #
Using Grafana Alloy on Kubernetes is made easy by the official Helm Chart. Depending on your needs, the topology varies:
- DaemonSet: Ideal for collecting system logs (host, containers) and node metrics. An instance of Alloy runs on each node in the cluster.
- Deployment / StatefulSet (Cluster): Recommended for scraping external services or receiving pushed telemetry via OTLP. Coupled with clustering mode, this configuration provides the necessary scalability to handle high ingestion volumes.
The Helm Chart also allows dynamically managing River configurations via ConfigMaps, facilitating rolling updates and integration into GitOps pipelines (like ArgoCD or Flux).
